Java FX in the portlet container

[michaeljharper]

Apologies if this is the wrong place for this but here goes

We are considering using JavaFX inside the Portal but I've run into a problem in proof of concept when I embedded a working applet using javafx format in a portlet (it works as a standalone web page)

The error is the invalid magic value, which I understand is a way of saying that the java vm doesn't understand the format.

Has anybody any ideas what could be causing this?

Thanks

Mike

We solved this by having the codebase reference a url rather than a path off the portlet context root it was running in. The fact that it's the same absolute path doesn't matter. A bit of a hack but it works.

Hope this is useful for anybody else trying to use JavaFX in this way.
